There is plenty of good advice about using your golf driver.  Mastering implementation takes many hours of dedicated practice.  We’ve compiled the best golf driver tips available.  Try them all and focus on the ones that let you hit it straighter with better distance.  Working hard on them will help you shave scores from every round because your approach shots will be shorter and you’ll start sticking more of them close to the hole for makeable birdie putts.

Driver Tip #1: Relax

If you aren’t comfortable hitting your driver you’ll have a tendency to tighten up in the tee box.  That will magnify any problems in your mechanics,  producing nastier slices and hooks.  You need to force yourself to relax, swing easy and let that big club head do its job.

Driver Tip #2: Swing Easy

The big hitters on Tour don’t swing much harder than a lot of amateurs but their mechanics are outstanding.  If you have problems with mechanics they’ll only get worse if you try to kill the ball.  Slow down your swing until it is comfortable.  Work on mechanics and when you start hitting it straight then you can ramp up the power for greater distance.  Great for learning to swing easy and let the club head do the work are the hybrid golf clubs that feature a smaller dimension wood-shaped head with greater loft, like mini 7-woods.  They help golfers figure out good ball-striking technique that carries over into any club you hit.  If you don’t have one in your bag consider getting one.  Even a good percentage of pro’s know pack one along.

Driver Tip #3: Forget the Last Hole

This mental tip is essential.  If you hit some bad shots on the last hole or missed a very makeable putt don’t let that frustration follow you to the tee box.  You’ll forget your process, possibly, and get out sync.  You won’t make square contact and a gorgeous bender into the lake will be your reward.  Take a breather and laugh off the snowman you put up on the last hole.  Every pro knows that the mental part of their game is the most essential.  It’s true for all of us.

Driver Tip #4: Put in the Practice Time

Many golfers today are using oversize drivers in the 460cc range and these clubs can be tough to hit.  Errors at impact are magnified in terms of hooks or slices.  The only way to hit them well is to work on your mechanics and hit lots of balls at the range.  Repeated good swings will become part of your muscle memory, but you’ve got to get the good swing down first.

In addition, these large driver heads take time to learn.  You’ll need to tee the ball higher, for one.  You will also find that the added weight of the head can make them tough to square up.

Driver Tip #5: Grip Easy, not Tight

Most of us would be surprised at how lightly professional players grip their driver.  A grip that is too tight creates bad dynamics in the swing, most often producing a slice or otherwise miss-struck shot.  Let your hands rest comfortably on the grip and hold on just tight enough for good control.  Your club face will square up better on contact and you’ll find your club more forgiving.

Hitting the driver isn’t rocket science.  It’s a lot harder…or so we often think.  Take these golf driver tips with you to the range and get to work on improving your game.  Start with relaxing, then using the good swing mechanics you’ve learned.  Don’t swing too hard or grip the club too tightly and you’ll be on your way to bigger drives and smaller scores.

Surprisingly few articles are written about the crucial downswing when compared to the amount of ink spilled discussing stance, takeaway, backswing and other mechanics.  But we’ve uncovered pro-quality tips that will help golfers at every skill level improve their games.  Let’s get started.

As you reach the top of your backswing you change gears and start moving forward.  Your hands begin to descend, your weight begins to shift and your hips begin to rotate forward for maximum drive.  Getting all of these aspect to work in sync is the key to an effective downswing that will produce distance and accuracy.

Fluid transition at the top is where it all begins.  Jerking the club forward will throw off the rest of your mechanics resulting in a poorly struck shot.  The key is not letting your hands get ahead of the rest of your body.

If this is a problem in your swing the way to fix it is by pausing at the top for a split second and starting the action with your hips.  Let the shoulders, arms and hands follow the uncoiling motion of the hips to keep everything in good alignment.  You’ll strike the ball better and increase both distance and accuracy because everything will be in sync, generating maximum control and power.

An important tip here is to keep your hands ahead of the ball so that you can snap your wrists just prior to contact and transfer maximum stored energy into impact.  When the club head leads the way this additional power cannot be unleashed.  Many clubs are made today with a low center of gravity and high MOI to maximize impact.  Among the best are the new generation of hybrid golf clubs that are being used by amateurs and professionals in place of hard to hit irons like the 4 or 5 iron.  They might be useful as you seek to optimize your mechanics and hit better shots.

Next, be sure your head doesn’t get out in front. This will alter your club head’s line to the ball and that cannot be fixed by adjusting your hands.  Keep your eyes glued to the ball and only let your head come forward and up as a natural part of your follow through.

Finally, learn to accelerate your downswing as the club head nears the strike zone.  Don’t force it or get wild, but do seek to speed everything up before contact.  Snapping your wrists forward so that head speed is maxed out will also add yards to your stroke.  Make sure your follow through is smooth – which means you did not decelerate as you approach the ball striking zone.

Every part of your swing is vital, including your downswing.  Put these tips to practice every time to hit balls at the range or play a round of golf.  Do the right things over and over and they’ll become ingrained good habits that will make you a better golfer.  Your hard work and patience will pay off handsomely with better scores and much greater enjoyment of this great hobby.

When it comes to distance first remember that giving up accuracy for distance is a bad idea.  Keeping it in the fairway shorter beats hitting it longer and landing in the rough or hazard.  Many golfers have made a good living on Tour hitting it shorter but straighter.  The opposite is rarely true.

First, opening your front foot a few degrees will increase your distance because it will allow your power-producing hips to fully rotate for greatest drive through the ball.  The danger is that this change in stance will open your club face at impact and cause a slice.  Don’t let your hips open too soon or get ahead of your hands and you’ll be okay.

Secondly, make sure your posture is relaxed and your knees are slightly bent.  This will allow you to coil your body around an imaginary vertical axis and unleash it with greater energy, starting with your hips and completing with your shoulders and wrists.  A relaxed stance gives you greater mobility and allows for a more fluid shifting of weight from your back foot to the front foot.

Thirdly, learn to use your wrists to supply extra power.  This is a toughie to master but when you do it’s good for 15 to 20 extra yards off the tee, somewhat less from the fairway.  As your hands bring the club toward the strike zone snap your wrists forward to generate maximum club head speed which is the key to distance.

Next, resist the urge to swing too hard.  Only when your mechanics are solid will swinging harder produce more straight distance.  When swinging too hard most players use their arms too much.  Their alignment is thrown off and they hook, slice or top the ball.  There are better ways to improve club head speed and keep the ball straight, and we’ve mentioned the most effective.

Two types of shots will also improve distance, one related to technique and one to equipment.  The shot type you may want to work on is the draw.    For right-handed players the draw starts out right and draws back to the left.  It is valuable because it typically has forward spin on it and is hit at a low trajectory.  These two factors make it roll a good distance.  It’s a favorite shot of many Tour players because it can be used to shape shots when the hole is set up right, such as a dog leg to the left for right-handers.

The distance improver related to equipment involves the new hybrid golf clubs that are popular.  Most manufacturers are producing hybrids – part wood, part iron – to help golfers at all skill levels hit better shots.  They typically replace low irons like the 3-5 irons but some players are using them in place of higher irons or fairway woods, such as the Cobra Baffler Rail H hybrid clubs.  They offer a larger sweet spot and are slightly offset to produce better ball striking than most players can achieve with low irons.  The results are better distance and greater accuracy.  Even low handicap players including Tour professionals are carrying one or two hybrid golf clubs to improve their game.

Take these tips out to the range with you and practice them consistently.  You’ll improve your distance and with practice will also increase accuracy.  That will translate into a better golf game from tee to green.  Improve your performance there too, and you’ve got the whole package!

The Standard Chip Shot

The most common type of chip shot is the one when you are within 5-20 yards of the green but not actually on the putting surface.  This shot is typically played with a wedge or 9-iron.  The basic instruction for this chip is to land the ball about 1/3 of the way to the hole and let it roll from there.  If you are 10-20 yards hitting it ½ way to the hole is about right.  Play the ball in the center of your stance with the club face square and your hands in front of the ball.  Good golfers master this basic chip shot first.

The Soft Chip Shot

As you progress with your game you’ll want to learn to hit a soft chip shot.  This is the chip you see the pro’s attempt most often because they can aim directly for the hole.  Most use a lob wedge with higher loft to get back spin which causes the ball to stop quickly.

To hit the soft chip correctly your hands should stay behind the ball to assist in generating back spin.  The club head needs to accelerate toward impact for the same purpose.  You want to get the ball up in the air so that it falls with less angle which will also reduce roll.

The Mid-Iron Chip Shot

When there is a lot of green to work with some golfers prefer a pitch and roll technique using a 6-iron or 7-iron.  Bump and run it’s sometimes called because you bump the ball up into the air and land it 1/3 to ½ of the way to the hole and let it run close or in.  Play the ball toward your back foot to ensure you hit it on the downswing.  Keep your hands forward to improve ball trajectory and control.

This shot is used when you’ve got a fairly straight green to work with.  It also helps prevent hitting the ball past the hole which is especially vital if a hazard lurks tight to the green opposite the pin from where you stand.

Practice to Become a Better Chipper

When you head to the range take all your chipping clubs with you and hit at least a bucket of balls progressing through these clubs.  Get very comfortable with them, practicing different stances and types of shots.  Most pro’s carry at least 3 wedges because the great variety of situations you’ll find near the green call for different specialty sticks.

Hit some standard chips, with the goal of landing them on a target.  Work through your soft shot set up and hit plenty of balls before finishing with some mid-iron chips.  For all of these, pick a landing target and try to drop the ball onto it.  Start at 5 yards and progress out to 30 or 40 yards.

All of this takes plenty of time and more than a bucket or two of balls to master.  But as you gain proficiency you’ll love what it does for your game.  This is where birdies are made, pars are saved, and you can knock vital strokes off your card.

Tip 1: Set up Properly

The right golf swing begins with your set up.  For tee shots and long fairway shots make sure your front foot is vertically aligned under your front shoulder.  Otherwise the club face will be opened or closed at contact which puts side spin on the ball – curve or English.  The results will have you looking for your ball in the deep weeds or adjoining fairway!

Tip 2: Grip your Club Firmly but not Tightly

We hear that the professionals like John Daly grip it and rip it.  But even Daly doesn’t clench his club too tightly.  The secret is a comfortable, firm grip that is neither too loose or too tight.  Some teaching pro’s call it a neutral grip.  Gripping too tightly often causes wrists to turn as the club head comes through, creating a misaligned face that produces balls curving every which way.

Related to this, keep your top hand somewhat closed on the grip.  You should be able to see 2 knuckles on your top hand as you address the ball.  This will keep the club in proper position on follow through and prevent twisting of the head.

Tip 3: Swing Easy

They call Ernie Els the Big Easy because of his stature but also because he seems to swing the club with so little effort.  Yet he still gets plenty of distance.  His mechanics are perfect and he uses his whole body to power the ball.  You may need to slow down your swing so that you can fix your mechanics.  Once they are sound you can experiment with swinging harder.  But smarter swinging will outdrive harder swinging every time.  Over-swinging will make square contact extremely difficult for even low handicap players.

Tip 4: Keep your Head Down

It isn’t just on the putting surface where this tip is vital.  When hitting woods and irons picking up your head early results in misalignment of your shoulders and hands, preventing proper contact.  Great shot makers keep their head down until the natural follow through raises it.

The key to eliminating the slice is to have your club face kiss the ball squarely on impact.  That is what these tips are designed to help you do.  Today’s new equipment helps, too.  Hybrid golf clubs are hugely popular now with players at all skill levels.  More than a quarter of touring professionals have one in their bags.  The clubs feature a slightly offset and closed face which helps eliminate slices by keeping the club face square to the ball.  Many players are amazed at the difference they make.  Hybrid clubs are available in sizes that replace a whole range of hard to hit clubs. Take a look at the popular TaylorMade Hybrid/Rescue clubs, for example.

Take some time to evaluate your swing to find out what is causing the slice.  An instructional DVD or a couple of lessons with a local pro can help you locate the problem and solve it more quickly.  Once you discover the cure for your slice spend plenty of time at the range repeating proper shot making until you are comfortable with your new mechanics.  Eliminating bad habits takes time and patience.  You might also benefit from hybrid clubs that square up the ball really well.  Stick to what works and you’ll be taking more skins from your buddies before you know it.

Slice Fixer #1:

Make sure you align yourself correctly at address.  Your front shoulder and hip should be aimed directly at the target.  If they are too open the result will be an open club face on contact – and that is what causes a slice.  Start with good alignment.

Slice Fixer #2:

Get a Good Grip

The grip is one of the toughest things to learn because at first proper grip may feel awkward.  Most golfers grip a club the way they grip a baseball bat but this produces misaligned hands.  Instead, grip the club so that at least two knuckles on your top hand are visible.  This will mean closing your grip for most golfer.  The result will be less torque in the club head on impact, creating a shot that doesn’t have horizontal spin.

Don’t over-grip the club, either.  Hold it gently but not loose.  Gripping too hard, usually when you want to hit the ball further, doesn’t let the club head square up at contact.  Practice a firm, not tight grip and you’ll strike the ball more consistently.

Slice Fixer #3:

Your hips are a huge factor in how squarely your strike the ball.  If your hips open too early then your hands will be in front of the club head, opening the face to produce a slice.  You want good rotation on your hips but don’t let your hips get ahead of your hands on the downswing.  If you continue to struggle with this don’t allow your hips to move at all until your hands are coming down toward the ball.

For minor adjustments you might also try a hybrid golf club like a Cleveland HiBORE that has a slightly offset with closed face that helps guarantee a more square ball strike.  Most players at all handicap levels are experimenting with a hybrid club with very good results.

Slice Fixer #4:

Slow Down

We all like to swing hard and when our mechanics are right that’s not a problem.  Tiger Woods swings as hard as anyone.  But if mechanics are bad swinging hard only amplifies the problems.  Slow down your backswing and begin your forward swing with a smooth and fluid motion.  This will prevent your hands from getting in front of the club head and swiping the ball rather than contacting it squarely.

Slice Fixer #5:

You’ve heard it from the first time you played golf: Keep your head down.  Your head position is an important part of your alignment.  Lifting your head to watch the ball’s flight produces poor mechanics in your shoulders and hands.  The club won’t be where it needs to be and a poorly struck ball will result.  Keep your head down until it is naturally brought up on the follow through.

Try out these tips in your next session at the driving range and work on the ones which help take the golf slice out of your game.  When you’ve fixed the problem keep hitting balls until you feel comfortable with your new swing.  Build muscle memory and it will become automatic in time.

And remember to make use of the equipment on the market that will help you hit the ball better.  This includes perimeter weighted clubs with a large sweet spot and also the hybrid clubs which offer better ball striking with less slice.  And keep practicing on the range so you can lower your scores on the links.

This isn’t a complex part of your swing but bad habits can be found and fixed.  Below you’ll find professional tips that will help you develop the right motion and tempo for the perfect golf backswing that will set up the rest of your swing.  These are helpful tips that will improve your game with one session at the driving range.

To begin with, make sure there is a bit of flex in your knees as you begin your golf backswing.  Stiff knees will prevent your hips from rotating properly.  Your hips are vital in powering the ball, so you want them fully engaged in the process.

As you bring the club back maintain straight arms through the first half of the take-away.  This ensures that the club head stays in proper position to the ball and won’t require and adjustment on the forward swing.  The key is to keep it simple.  The less motion the less chance of getting something significantly out of alignment.

And you know it doesn’t take much misalignment to create serious issues with your ball striking.  If you struggle with minor misalignment many teaching professionals suggest using newer clubs like the hybrid golf clubs that are more forgiving and produce better shots even if you don’t strike it perfectly. The Callaway FT Hybrid line of golf clubs offers a well-priced option for many golfers.

Another important tip that needs to be heeded to produce a proper golf backswing involves your stance over the ball.  Playing the ball at the right position in your stance is vital to solid, square contact.  Different types of shots require slightly different positioning and once you learn what those are practice proper setup.

Pssssst ... CLICK HERE for a step-by-step guide to mastering your full swing, short game, as well as personal coaching. GET OUT OF THE ROUGH FOR GOOD!

Most players position the ball further back in their stance, for example, for sand and pitching wedges, further forward for the driver.  Knowing where the ball is in your stance will give allow for proper positioning of your arms on the golf backswing .

On the backswing, as your hands elevate above your waist allow your back arm to bend at the elbow comfortably while keeping your front arm straight but not rigid.  Keep your hands firm without any rotation.  The arc produced by this motion can easily be replicated again and again, so you’ll have the same good swing every time – the key to consistency.

As your arms progress higher allow your shoulders and waist to naturally rotate.  Do not rock your weight, hips or shoulders backwards, away from the target.  Rotate, or coil might be a better word, but do not shift.  Keep that in mind.  If you shift on your golf backswing it creates the need for too many adjustments on the follow-through.

When working on your backswing get comfortable with the “top” of it.  Some big hitters have a higher top to their backswing, but in high and medium handicap players this can produce erratic ball striking.  Start with a more controlled top that isn’t too far past vertical.

Start hitting great shots and then you might want to start increasing your backswing which will translate into higher club head speed, an essential part of gaining distance.  The new hybrid clubs allow for a bigger backswing because they are designed to produce more square contact on every shot, allowing you to “grip it and rip it” with a bit more authority.

As you transition to the downswing remember this final tip.  Strive for a smooth beginning to the forward motion.  A sudden change of direction will jerking your hands and club head out of alignment and nothing good will come of that.  Be fluid, smooth and slow at the transition and pick up speed down and through the ball.

The take-away, or backswing, sets up your entire golf swing.  It never hurts to have a teaching pro or experienced golfer take a look at your swing and make suggestions.  Ask a friend to video you at the range so you can see where your mechanics might be off.  And don’t forget to pack along a couple of hybrid clubs that will help you hit better shots in every round, because when it comes to a better swing and better score, every little bit helps!

One of the most frequent causes of the slice is rooted in the way the ball is addressed. Like most golfers, you probably stand over the ball with your feet, hips and shoulders squared up to the target.  This is good, but if  your left foot is too far forward the club face will likely begin to open up before you strike the ball, and an open club face will spin the ball into a nasty slice every time.

To correct this make sure that your left foot is in a vertical line with your left shoulder.  Likewise, don’t let your hips or shoulders get ahead of the ball or the same problem will arise.  As you work toward square contact on every shot you might consider trying the new hybrid clubs that provide a slightly offset club head which is perfect for keeping a closed face to the ball.

They help many amateurs work out the kinks in their swing and low-handicap and professional players are often carrying one or two hybrids in their bags.  Hybrid golf clubs are featured by most major manufacturers and are being made replace increasingly more clubs, to cover more of your game.

If good vertical alignment is not the cause examine your grip.  Holding the club too tightly can cause it to torque at impact, opening it up and causing the ball to be blocked out to the right.  A grip that is too light may result in the club head shifting on impact and creating a hook or slice if the ball is not perfectly struck.  Keep your grip easy but not loose.

In addition, make sure your grip is neutral, meaning that it is positioned properly to ensure square contact with the ball.  When you get ready to swing check your grip visually.  With a proper grip two or three of the knuckles on your top hand should be visible.  If your grip is too closed the club face will open before contact and cause the slice.

If you find you are gripping the club incorrectly rotate your top hand open until you see 2-3 knuckles. Do not rotate the club in your grip, however.  These tips should help keep the club face square to the ball on contact.  The best place to work on this is at the range.  Hit some balls with the new grip and tweak it slightly until the slice is taken out of your game.

Once you find the right grip hit 15-20 more balls, at least, to help lock it into your muscle memory.

Another common culprit in the dreaded slice is swing tempo.  Grip it and rip it works for some, but most golfers need to take a more controlled approach to tempo, at least until they get rid of the bugs in their swing and then they can gradually start swinging with more gusto.

Most of the problem here comes from trying to power the ball with your arms.  At the top of the back swing the hands start downward first, like you’re chopping wood, and it throws off the club position to the point that a poorly struck ball is almost inevitable.

Slow down and start driving it straight before you get hung up on greater distance.  This begins with a fluid motion on the downswing with the hips leading, followed by the shoulders, arms and hands.  Simply remember to keep your hip closed as much as possible.  Opening your front hip early will also open the club face and produce a slice.

Some evidence of why you’re slicing the ball may be found in the divot.  It should point straight to the hole.  For a right-handed golfer a divot facing right may indicate the club face was open, resulting in a slice.   If this is the case with you start with your posture again and make sure your everything is properly aligned with your target.

This is also where a hybrid golf club with a slightly closed face will help – they are designed to auto-correct a minor slicing motion instead producing a square impact.

Find some time to work on these things over a bucket or two of balls.  When you discover something that helps you correct the slice keep working on it until it becomes comfortable.  It will take some time for it to be automatic, however.  That’s part of the challenge of golf.  However, hitting better shots will pay immediate dividends in lower scores and far more fun out on the links.

One of the most noticeable benefits I found right after I switched to a hybrid 3 and 4 related to increased distance. I normally would hit my 3-iron around 195 yards, that is when I could hit it at all. My 4-iron would be in the 180-190.

Now, that distance has changed with the hybrids. I hit my hybrid 3 between 200-220 yards, I’ve even caught one that went 245 yards.  I also hit the hybrid 4 190-200 yards max. I hit my regular 5 iron about 170-175 max. There in lies the problem that many hybrid golf club owners face. What do I hit when I’m between 175 & 190 yards out?

Switching to the hybrid clubs caused a 15 yard gap in my game that I no longer have a full club to hit.

These are your options you have available to bridge that gap:

Better course management. This is probably the worst suggestion, but it’s also the only option that won’t cost you any money. You simply play your round with the conscious effort of not putting yourself in the gap range. For example, my gap is between 175-190. That means I don’t leave myself with an approach shot in the range. I have to position my drives and layup shots better to give myself a full swing into the green. If I get in this gap zone, I either under-swing or over-swing. This option will likely cost you a stroke per round.

Buy a club to fill the gap. In my case, I just needed to buy a hybrid 5 to cancel out my 175-190 yard gap. This means that I carry a hybrid 5 for the 175-190 and a regular 5 for the 175 and below. This also means that I am 1 club over my 14 club limit. For me, it’s a course by course decision and it all depends on the length of the course. If it’s a short course, I’ll leave out the regular 5 iron in favor of that extra wedge. If it is a long course, I’ll pull a wedge in favor of both 5’s. You have to figure out what works for you in that situation.

Buy a full hybrid and game improving set. Callaway, Cleveland, Adams and all the other major manufacturers are producing full sets now that have hybrid long irons and game improving short irons. These clubs are manufactured to eliminate the distance gap and give you a more normal distance progression.

For me, the obvious choice was to add the extra club. I really like my scoring irons to be traditional. It’s all about what you want and what you are comfortable with. One thi9ng you do not want to do is be uncomfortable with your clubs. So, whatever decision you make needs to be one that you can live with round after round.

Could hybrid clubs lower my score?

I took the plunge and bought a Callaway Heavenwood 3 & 4 off ebay for well below sticker price. I got them both for a total of $120, which is still a steal today. Immediately, I went to range and gave them a few swings and was totally shocked how easy they were to hit. Having some confidence in the new clubs, I took out my traditional 3 & 4 irons and replaced them with my new Hybrid golf clubs.

I’ve played probably around 40 rounds of golf since buying my hybrid golf clubs. I can say they are the most consistent clubs I have in my bag. I have no fear of being 210 yards out, over water, around a bend or whatever. I can honestly say those two clubs have dropped 3-4 strokes off my game. i am now consistently in the low to mid 80’s.

Now, the question is… Should you buy hybrid golf clubs?

The 24/38 Rule
This is a rule known by golf clubmakers. Essentially it says that most golfers, that is the vast majority, do not have the ability to consistently hit an iron with 24 degrees or less of loft and 38 or more inches of length. For the vast majority of golfers in today’s world, this means that they cannot hit shots consistently with any iron longer than a five iron.

Unless you are a very skilled player to whom the 24/38 rule does not apply, the answer is probably yes. Even PGA Tour players, who clearly are not bound by the 24/38 rule are using them because sometimes they want to get those long iron shots higher into the air. In fact for most players, the longest iron in their bag should probably be a 5 iron. 3 and 4 hybrids should replace your 3 and 4 irons, which most golfers cannot hit properly and consistently. And remember, your hybrid golf clubs should be the same lengths , or at most a half inch longer, than the iron which they are meant to replace. You want to replace the 3 and 4 irons with the equivalent hybrid golf clubs. What you don’t want is a club that will hit the ball further and create a yardage gap between the 4 hybrid and 5 iron, for example. Thus, the lofts of hybrid golf clubs and the irons they are to replace should be equal as well. You want your 4 hybrid to travel the same distance that your 4 iron did. Give hybrid golf clubs a try- they are a great addition to the game.

Conclusion

If you are like me…You love to golf. But, more importantly you love to play well. You like to be the low score in your foursome. It drives you nuts when you are not. And, again if you are also like me, you don’t have a ton of time to practice. So, you never have the time to practice those long iron shots. As a result, you have no confidence with those clubs and they end up costing you strokes.

That’s why I bought and endorse the use of hybrid golf clubs. They are made to be more forgiving and easier to hit. Take advantage of that opportunity and you will give yourself the best chance to shoot that low round and enjoy that day on the links.
